- Title
Effect of effluent from a shrimp pond on shoot biomass of mangrove seedlings.
- Authors
Rajendran, N.; Kathiresan, K.
- Abstract
Growth in terms of shoot dry weight was studied in five species of mangroves, namely Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Ceriops decandra, Rhizophora apiculata and R. mucronata, raised in shrimp pond-derived effluent. The effluent had significant negative effect over diluted effluents on shoot dry weight in R. apiculata and C. decandra, but not in the other three species, in general, the effluent, when diluted by 70%, improved the shoot biomass production of mangrove seedlings.
